COMBINATION-WRENCH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 341,117, dated May 4, 1886.

(No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, AUGUSTUS WASHINGTON WRIGHT, acitizen of the United States, residing at Kyle, in the county of Hays and State of Texas,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combinationrenches, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to an improvement in a combined nut-wrench, pipe-wrench, hammer, and screwdriver; and it consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices, that will be more fully set forth hereinafter,and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my invention with the folding blade forming the screw-driver closed. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same, partly in section, showing the screw-driver open.

A represents a bar of metal, which is fasl1- ioned so as to form at one end a nutwrench, B. On one side of this wrench is formed a hammer-head, O. The opposite end of the bar is provided with a V-shaped opening, forming diverging arms D, the opposing faces of which are notched or serrated,as at E, there by forming a pipe-wrench. which is adapted to engage with pipes of different sizes. ()n

the projecting end of one of the arms D is formedascrew-driverpoint,F. Neartlie center of the bar A, in one edge thereof, is made a longitudinal opening or slot, G, which is of suitable depth, and in one end of the said opening,at the bottom thereof, is secured a fiat spring, II, which corresponds in length to the opening.

K represents a blade, which is pivoted in one end of the opening G, upon a pivotal pin, I, which extends transversely through the bar A, and the said blade bears on the free end of the spring H, which thus serves to retain the blade in either an open or a closed position. The point of this blade forms a screw-driver, and the blade may be folded into the opening G when it is not desired to use it,

The combination-tool thus constructed is exceedingly cheap and simple, is very light and portable, and will be found of great convenience and utility.

Having thus described my invention, I claim The bar A, having the nut-wrench and the hammer-head formed at one end, the pipewrench formed at the opposite end, and the slot G made in one side, the spring located in the bottom of the slot-or opening,and the blade pivoted in one end'of the slot or opening and bearing on the free end of the spring, thesaid blade forminga screw-driver, substantially as described. 7

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

AUGUSTUS WASHINGTON WRIGHT.
